Backwards foot again.
I know the legs were like that on the original toy, but the knees probably don't bend that way on these toys.

Actually, I'm suspecting that the actual knee joints will be in Silverbolt's feet rather that in the limbs' chest. The connector port is directly connected to the head I see now, we'll have to see how it all works out.
And sweet! The connector has two ratchets, one for the hinge and a swiveling peg too!

Yup, the first wave has 3 Aerialbots and 1 Stunticon, for the second wave the opposite is true: 1 Aerialbot and 3 Stunticons. So expect to see a Menasor with Air Raid for an arm.

These Combiner Wars figures are top notch. Theyloo so goodon their ownAND they combine! How far we've come since FoC Bruticus.
Granted, the designers were limited by the designs from the game, but still.

Not sure I mentioned this but I fully expect Takara to repaint one of the jets into Slingshot or whomever is missing as a store exclusive or something like that.

on the subject of the Motor-Master mold i do agree that it would be a better Magnus IF it had a car carrier trailer or a missile launcher trailer or sadly a magic mushroom for something like PE AOE Optimus
but what exactly is Generation 3? from what i can figure out it would be in the G1 family

But, to satisfy your wish, I would say that Alpha Bravo is a cool addition to the new generation of toys and would love to see more new characters. I am sure we will see at least two more new figures as far as the combiners go. Since this is generations I would love to see Bulkhead created for the G3 line. Or maybe even Lugnut. But, I would say the BEST news for this line is the possibility of an Ultra Magnus being released. And the part is that it seems to be its own mold. Not some lame Optimus repaint.

So they can rename Fireflight but Slingshot has to be new character. 
I get it's the helicopter mode but does anyone know why he still couldn't be Slingshot? It wouldn't be the first time they changed a character's alt mode.

It's not quite as obvious on Fireflight, but on Dragstrip it's more so. Probably based on Hasbro's choice of color.

Yeah, this drives me crazy. If I didn't know that was the combiner peg I wouldn't think anything of it, but it's weird just seeing it folded down making up such a huge portion of his front. Maybe if it was painted differently or something.

you can actually see silverbolt's fist folded up behind the leg alpha bravo is attached to in that dynamic shot and... I don't know, it looks like the knee joint might just be the connector ratchet, but that means there has to be enough room for the head to clear inside there. I'm doubtful we'll get too much more knee movement.

Perhaps they couldn't trademark anything remotely similar to "Slingshot" and decided since they also couldn't have 5 separate red-and-white jets within a short time period they just went with a new character entirely.
Or, to borrow TFWiki's joke, Gold Plastic Syndrome is worse than we thought.
Incidentally, how the heck did G1 get away with making the majority of the Autobots red and white?
I don't mind the combiner port chests, except that nearly every limb-bot has it. Makes them too homogenous, which is the last thing these guys need...

I don't mind the combiner pegs in the chest. Mostly because the old G1 toys had that central strip going down their torso and at least this way, we don't have a whole slew of figures all with square heads. That bugged me more than anything about the old combiner figures.

They're maybe a little too wide, but honestly? the combiner peg down the centre of the chest has always been a unifying feature of the limb bots, save for the odd one or 2.
If we were getting predacons, that'd change things, since they all have unique chest plates.
PLUS, Breakdown and Dead End don't seem to suffer from that problem much, so not every character will be like that.
It's a nice homage.

Actually, you kinda did. "Generation One" and "Generation 2" (which is 1992-1995 btw) are or have been in official use by Hasbro and its licensees. "Generation 3" would be a fan term by our definitions as it's not in official use. Plain and simple.
Also, the current Generations lines and the IDW comicsw may not be G1 in its pure form, they're still based on it, and as such some feel it has to slavishly comply to every concept already established, like Slingshot here. And they have every right to, as we have the right to disagree with them

There's "G1 the 1980s toyline", "G1 the Sunbow cartoon", "G1 the Marvel comics", "G1 the Dreamwave comics", "G1 the IDW comics", "G1 the continuity family", "G1 the Wings Universe", "G1 the 1980s era of the brand" (this one Shockblast2 seems to be focused on the most), "G1 the Classicsverse", "G1 the Evolutions comics", "G1 the Blackthorne comics", "G1 the Regeneration One comics", "G1 the Japanese manga" and so much more. I really do wish we had more diverse terms to refer to all of them than just the confusingly catch-all "G1" and "Generation 1" terms.

And they have every right to, as we have the right to disagree with them
There's "G1 the 1980s toyline", "G1 the Sunbow cartoon", "G1 the Marvel comics", "G1 the Dreamwave comics", "G1 the IDW comics", "G1 the continuity family", "G1 the Wings Universe", "G1 the 1980s era of the brand" (this one Shockblast2 seems to be focused on the most), "G1 the Classicsverse", "G1 the Evolutions comics", "G1 the Blackthorne comics", "G1 the Regeneration One comics", "G1 the Japanese manga" and so much more. I really do wish we had more diverse terms to refer to all of them than just the confusingly catch-all "G1" and "Generation 1" terms.

I think this guy looks awesome. Looks nicely posable, and would be fun to play with in both modes. I'm certain I'm all in for the Combiner War figures at this point!

That's probably where the main problem lies: the lack of a proper term for the lines and media based on the old Generation 1, like Generations, the IDW comics... basically anything beyond 2000.
And no, "Generation 3" will not cut as it's implied to be a sequel to Generation 2, which it isn't the way shockblast2 is using it.

Let me take the helm again...
So far we've seen Alpha Bravo, Firefly/Fireflight and Drag Strip. Can't wait to see Skydive and Silverbolt in-hand. Speaking of Skydive, I've seen somewhere that Air Raid will be his retool. I'm not buying that statement just yet.

So...what do you call the years between 1994 and 2013? Because I'm pretty sure Transformers existed back then.

If so, G3 should not be too hard to understand. See my prior post if you need help with that.
